So you all might remember a few years ago there was a whole glitter conspiracy because there was a journalist who did some digging trying to find out who the biggest purchaser of glitter was and the journalist was able to get someone on the phone from the glitter manufacturer who basically refused to say who was their largest buyer was because “they don’t want you to know it’s glitter”

    Well, I have a new theory that kinda makes sense.

    I graduated from college about a year ago. I went to a big football school and I had a dry wick polo shirt I would wear on most game days.

    I was looking in my closet and I noticed this shirt (which hasn’t been worn since I graduated) had glitter in the armpit area. This shirt has always had pit stains because it’s black and I wear anti-perspirant deodorant, also it’s a school in the south and gets hot and sweaty on game days pretty quick.

    In the same area where there has always been white marks from the deodorant, there is now a lot of glitter, only in the armpit part of the shirt. I don’t own glitter and honestly can’t tell you the last time I was near any sort of glitter.

    I checked my other shirts and all over the closet, no other signs of glitter.

    Then I was thinking well isn’t glitter metal? And there’s aluminum in deodorant so maybe that tracks.

    So I googled it and the main two ingredients in glitter so happens to be plastic and ALUMINUM!!!

    What do you all think?

    Ps. I included pics, you can’t really tell the little flecks are glitter on camera but it is glitter without a doubt

      I don’t know anything about glitter. It was banned in my house while growing up. The reason? My older sister (when she was really young) got a piece of glitter in her eye. My parents had to take her to the eye doctor for him to remove it.

      So glitter was banned. My Mom drilled into us to never touch glitter.

      To this very day, I’m 56 years old and I still avoid glitter. 🙂

    2. I have several old dry fit shirts that have glitter in the pits. Only those type of shirts, no other shirts have sparkle pits.
